The edible resort, also known as “farm-to-resort” is one such example of sustainable accommodations. Hotels and resorts create landscape features using local edible plants such as thyme and oranges. The produce is then used in delectable dishes prepared in the resort’s restaurants, highlighting the destination’s cultural and culinary traits. Kittitian Hill in the West Indies and Pantrepant in Jamaica are two such delicious places.

Snow over Sand
As temperatures all over the world have soared in the last few years, travelers are escaping the heat by moving away from the beach. Instead, colder destinations trending, with more opting for snow to beat the heat, especially when summer approaches. With cool, fresh mountain air, log cabins, and ski slopes, there’s no surprise that winter is becoming the new travel trend!
For the adventurous, a Polar Travel cruise vacation not only represents a trek into the wilderness, but the best chance and way to experience the Arctic and Antarctic regions and its glorious wildlife.

Personalized Experiences
Finally, another travel trend that is really picking up is for travelers to create their own path when traveling. These vagabonds choose to explore less familiar parts of the world, setting their own traveling rules as they go. A personalized journey will give you an exclusive cultural experience that’s authentic, participatory, and challenging.
Instead of simply crossing off a list of things to see, travelers can now focus on experiences. Ever wanted to experience kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing pottery? Or learn more about burlesque? Travel sites like Airbnb now allow you to meet knowledgeable locals who’ll show you the hidden sides of their cities, creating a unique and personalized travel experience like no other.
